A Tale of Two Colonies →

anticapitalist:

Capitalism also lead to the occupation and seizure of Native American lands, which caused more deaths than the 400-800 who would have died at the colonies. So capitalism supported imperialism, and white nationalism. GO CAPITALISM FOR SAVIN’ ‘MURIKA!

The original quote was about free market capitalism. As much as your caricature understanding of it would have you think otherwise, the disrespect of another’s property is definitionally counter to the principles of free market capitalism. It was the various large- and small-scale states (and their cronies) that were directly responsible for the vast majority of native deaths. These were deplorable and unconscionable acts, and it’s important to identify the actual aggressors.
